  1. Re:On the bright side... on Adobe Buys Macromedia for $3.4B · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And everybody just loooooves waiting on Acrobat to load in order to view a freaking calendar or memo.

    I find this particularly humorous as a response to a request for more data.

  3. Re:They just want better pricing from Intel on Dell Might do AMD · · Score: 1

    Well... if "the market" represents the PC market, then Dell does have the biggest share.

    Last I heard in the server market, Dell is basically tied with Sun for 3rd place behind IBM and HP.

    Xen was around first.

    I seriously doubt this, unless you're just talking about the Linux part of Zen.

    Oh my god that was classic.

  7. Re:Java scripting on Job Market for Developers Evaluated · · Score: 1

    What about the numerous examples in Microsoft's documentation that only show the VB way to accomplish something?

    Pretty much all .NET documentation has VB and C# examples. This has been the case since .NET was launched (2002?)

    Language options are nice. Platform options are even better.

    Now you have both :-)

  8. Re:Java scripting on Job Market for Developers Evaluated · · Score: 1

    Much as Microsofties like to bleat that ASP supports more than just VBScript, that's really the only language which is widely supported under it (and to a lesser extent, under ASP.NET)

    C# is clearly the preferred language under ASP.NET so "to a lesser extent" is actually no extent at all. Regardless, with ASP, there were plenty of languages (perl and python to name a couple) that were fully supported and documented by third parties.

    I think the fact that you even have language options is A Good Thing.

    Sadly, you are probably dead right sir.

  10. MOD PARENT UP on UK Leads in TV Show Downloading · · Score: 1

    This is a truly interesting and insightful post. But I'm guessing that, for them to bite - the big production houses would need to know that they could make more money using this model than the current broadcast > DVD > Syndication one. That definitely seems plausible, but it seems like it would still require the establishment of some sort of "network" to really get the word out worldwide.

    Blanket statements regarding an OS are unhelpful to everyone.

    How about blanket statements about blanket statements regarding an OS?

    You might have a point, but I'm sure that Kmeleon predates Firefox/Bird/Phoenix so I don't think that it really applies here.

  16. Re:dont knock Dreamweaver out of hand on Open Source Alternatives to Dreamweaver Templating · · Score: 1

    Well people can create pages by hand and they still have shitty design. Simply knowing HTML doesn't guarantee a good design. I have studied and applied good web design on many web sites and applications and Dreamweaver is my tool of choice for a large number of reasons. Speed of getting started being a primary one.

  17. Re:Wow on Open Source Alternatives to Dreamweaver Templating · · Score: 1

    I love Dreamweaver and have since version 1.2 but you're dead right about CSS. Fucking Frontpage(!) has a better design view of non-static CSS2 positioning. I have to say that MX2004 added some really great CSS features and is generally an improvement over the sluggishness of 6.0.

    The biggest dissapointment though is the absolutely shitty ASP.NET support. Them forcing me to use a closed and proprietary assembly for data access and operations has relegated it to design - instead of development - status for me.

    I'm mad at the fact that I've played through the game and I want to get rid of it (e.g. sell) but I can't. The multiplayer doesn't interest me.

  22. Re:why another browser. on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter. Web developers like the grandparent poster already know IE's extreme bugginess. There is nothing new being introduced.

    I actually think that it's pretty cool how you can set certain URLs to work with the mshtml engine. The site-based privacy settings are a feature that I've wanted for a while.

    Right, but seriously, who is thinking to drag the disk anywhere to eject it? And why would they be looking anywhere near the trash can?

    Having a button on the front of the drive was a great interface to me. Don't get me started on the lack of optical access lights on my G5.

  25. Re:ejecting disks on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    Probably because the metal finder only exists in 10.3. It's been a while since I used OS10. 3 but I'm pretty sue that the eject button next to the drive is a new (and way overdue) feature.
